People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies, succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build... anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous, be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough, give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
- Mother Teresa

Just YES! I approached a woman in a handicap spot today ( b/c I needed it and she didin't have a sticker) and she showed me her sticker and pointed me to more spots- then, getting Mom out of the car, a gentleman let me know I was incorrectly parked and I peacefully explained that my mother was handicapped. I apologized to the lady, and he apologized to me... and we all left the librabry smiling and waving goodbye. It was a good day. Thank you for all of the examles we have ( Mother Teresa/ Sharon) to show us our higher, greater selves. :)
Thanks for your comment shay shay - so glad you appreciated the quote as much as I did :-)
